College Record 2022/23
The 2023/24 edition of the College Record, the formal record of the academic year at Wolfson College, Oxford. As well as recording the fellowship and membership of the College as it stood in 2023/24, the Record is a chance for members to look back on the previous academic year and take stock of the activities of our many research clusters and societies, to celebrate the achievements of our students, researchers and alumni, and to share news of interest with the whole Wolfson community. This year, alongside updates from members across the world, readers can find reflections on the life of Anders Celsius, Byzantine art, the legal fight for clean rivers in the UK, and Wolfson’s own mysterious Second World War bunker. The Record is edited by Dr Roger Tomlin.

Dr Robert Mayer has continued to organise his hugely successful Treasure Seminar Series<br />
with their eclectic and interdisciplinary focus on Tibetan and other treasure traditions.<br />
The fourth series, in Hilary and Trinity terms, consisted of seven well-attended online<br />
lectures with a diversity of esteemed speakers from the UK and abroad covering revelatory<br />
traditions in Tibetan, Indian and Chinese religion.<br />
The Cluster has been able to give out scholarships and research grants thanks to the<br />
enduring support and generosity of the Margot and Tom Pritzker Art Collaborative, the<br />
Khyentse Foundation and Marie-Laure Aris. This year we awarded three £4,000 Khyentse-<br />
Pritzker scholarships and two £300 Anthony Aris Research Awards to current students of<br />
Tibetan and Himalayan studies. These grants are vital for easing students’ financial burdens,<br />
assisting them with their studies and boosting their overall morale.<br />
It has been a productive and constructive year, and we thank Wolfson, its Events Office and<br />
all our colleagues and friends for their constant support.<br />
